The Foreign Office announced on Sunday that twenty-one Pakistani nationals have been identified among the survivors of the boat tragedy near Dakhla, Morocco.
As many as 50 migrants, many of them Pakistanis, may have drowned in the latest deadly wreck involving people trying to make the crossing from West Africa to Spain’s Canary Islands, migrant rights group Walking Borders said on Thursday.
Moroccan authorities rescued 36 people on Wednesday from a boat that had left Mauritania on Jan. 2 with 86 migrants, including 66 Pakistanis, on board, the group said.
The ministry of foreign affairs said today that immediate assistance has been mobilized for the affected nationals through diplomatic mission in Rabat.
The embassy has arranged essential provisions, including food, water, medicine, and clothing.
